Challenges in imaging and predictive modeling of rhizosphere processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background Plant-soil interaction is central to human food production and ecosystem function. Thus, it is essential to not only understand, but also to develop predictive mathematical models which can be used to assess how climate and soil management ...

Response of Soil C and N, Dissolved Organic C and N, and Inorganic N to Short-Term Experimental Warming in an Alpine Meadow on the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
Although alpine meadows of Tibet are expected to be strongly affected by climatic warming, it remains unclear how soil organic C (SOC), total N (TN), ammonium N (NH4+-N) , nitrate N (NO3+-N), and dissolved organic C (DOC) and N (DON) respond to warming ...

A multi-method approach to delineate and validate migratory corridors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Context: Managers are faced with numerous methods for delineating wildlife movement corridors, and often must make decisions with limited data. Delineated corridors should be robust to different data and models.

Modelling an ecosystem: The example of agro-ecosystems

open access: yesEcological Modelling, 2011
Abstract Methods to predict ecosystem responses to changing environmental conditions, including options for mitigation and management, are vital for scientists and policy makers. We propose that modelling ecosystems by grouping species into trophic-functional types has great utility, because it is potentially generic and applicable to any ecosystem ...

Nonlinear response of ecosystem respiration to multiple levels of temperature increases

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Global warming exerts profound impacts on terrestrial carbon cycles and feedback to climates. Ecosystem respiration (ER) is one of the main components of biosphere CO2 fluxes. However, knowledge regarding how ER responds to warming is still lacking.

A conceptual approach to characterizing ecological suitability: Informing socio-ecological measures for restoration effectiveness

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
A combination of ecological and socio-economic outcome indicators is essential for understanding and assessing the effectiveness of the remediation and restoration of degraded ecosystems and revitalizing communities that could benefit from these ...

Recommendations on the Use of Ecosystem Modeling for Informing Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management and Restoration Outcomes in the Gulf of Mexico

open access: yes, 2017
Ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) and ecosystem restoration are gaining momentum worldwide, including in U.S. waters of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Ecosystem models are valuable tools for informing EBFM and restoration activities.

Rescuing ecosystems from extinction cascades through compensatory perturbations

open access: yes, 2011
Food-web perturbations stemming from climate change, overexploitation, invasive species, and habitat degradation often cause an initial loss of species that results in a cascade of secondary extinctions, posing considerable challenges to ecosystem ...

Combining tower mixing ratio and community model data to estimate regional-scale net ecosystem carbon exchange by boundary layer inversion over 4 flux towers in the U.S.A. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We evaluated an idealized boundary layer (BL) model with simple parameterizations using vertical transport information from community model outputs (NCAR/NCEP Reanalysis and ECMWF Interim Analysis) to estimate regional-scale net CO2 fluxes from 2002 to ...
